Answers:
1. B. Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed said Georgia leaders are courting other Connecticut businesses after General Electric’s announced search for a new location for its headquarters. Speaking to reporters after his quarterly meeting with metro Atlanta CEOs, Reed said he visited with a group of Connecticut “business leaders” on Thursday. He declined to say who else participated in the meeting, nor did he name the companies involved.
2. C. Grady Memorial, the state’s largest hospital, has failed to tell police about as many as 1,500 possible sex crimes, including more than 130 where the victims asked the hospital for help to bring rapists to justice, an Atlanta Journal-Constitution investigation found. Grady officials said a federal medical privacy law blocked them from alerting police or providing them with evidence it collected from patients and stored in rape kits, such as bodily fluids and hair.
3. D. Adams, the former president of the University of Georgia, will take over Aug. 1 as chancellor of Pepperdine University. In his new role, Adams — who led UGA from 1997 to 2013 — will focus on strengthening the university’s endowment, raising funds for new projects including a new events center with a basketball arena, and advising Pepperdine President Andrew Benton and other younger administrators.
4. A. Rick Ross, whose real name is William Roberts, was stopped for a window-tint violation in Fayette County. The officer reportedly smelled marijuana and found a small amount inside the car.
5. B. A Cobb County grand jury has indicted Elyjah Marrow of Marietta, the 20-year-old grandson of rapper Ice-T, in the shooting death of his roommate. He is currently free on bond. Ice-T, whose real name is Tracy Lauren Marrow, is also an actor.
